The Eastern League baseball team announced Tuesday that fans will receive something at each Saturday home game at Metro Bank Park during the 2014 campaign.

“Every year we evaluate our giveaways and work on how we can improve them,” Sens president Kevin Kulp said in a team news release. “This year we wanted to touch more fans so as you’ll see, in many cases, we’ve increased the number of items we give away at the gate.”

According to the team, 19 games have a scheduled entrance giveaway, beginning with rally towels at the April 10 home opener and ending with the Sens’ traditional Fan Appreciation Day on Aug. 24 (when fans can choose which item they want). In between, the club will hand out free baseballs, jerseys, pennants, T-shirts and more.

The 2014 home schedule features 10 games with giveaways for fans of all ages, seven giveaways specifically for fans 12 and younger, and three giveaways specifically for fans 13 and older.

According to the team, the Sens will hand out more than 35,000 free items to fans in 2014.

Harrisburg, the Washington Nationals Double-A affiliate, opens the 2014 season April 3 on the road against the Bowie Baysox. After a three-game series vs. the Baltimore Orioles farm team, the Sens play three more on the road against the New Britain Rock Cats (Minnesota Twins) on April 7-9.

First-year manager Brian Daubach and the Sens play their home opener vs. the Reading Fightin Phils on April 10.
